New York, NY —

Ex-Talking Heads front man David Byrne plans to turn a landmark building in lower Manhattan into a giant musical instrument.

Byrne is retrofitting an antique organ so that it "plays" the building's metal beams, electrical conduits and water pipes.

Byrne says visitors will get a chance to play it.

BYRNE: The public plays it, the public gets involved in it. Whether it's kids or adults or whoever. No one is better at doing it or playing it than anyone else.

REPORTER: The interactive exhibit at the Great Hall of the Battery Maritime Building is free and will be open to the public at the end of the month on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
